Carriage House

The Felt estate boasted extensive gardens, orchards, cornfields, a diary, vineyards, and a small zoo that was open to the public. And of course, an automobile or three. The Felt mansion served as a prep school for young men (under the title St. Augustine Seminary). Classes took place in the carriage house and the mansion was used for housing students.

The Carriage House on the Felt Estate

The Carriage House, an original building of the Felt Estate, was built in 1919 as a garage for Dorr Felt’s many automobiles. The second floor of the carriage house served as living quarters for the caretakers of the estate. Today, The Friends of the Felt Estate are restoring the Carriage House and adapting it for use as a cultural center for private use and public events. The Carriage House is in the final stages of renovation; however there are numerous finished rooms that offer a unique setting for a wedding, party or even a concert or two.
